22 subjects (13 hypertensive and 9 normotensive)
Comparison
30 minutes of cycle ergometer exercise vs Nonexercise control period
Design
RCT, Randomized crossover fashion
Follow-up
Immediate aftereffects (after 30 min exercise)

Acute exercise modulates baroreflex FVR control in hypertensives but not normotensives; extends mechanistic basis for postexercise hypotension.
Does 30 minutes of cycle ergometer exercise alter baroreflex control of forearm vascular resistance in hypertensive and normotensive subjects compared to a nonexercise control period?
A single bout of exercise lowers blood pressure in hypertensive individuals, which may be mediated by modulation of the baroreflex control of forearm vascular resistance.
Cléroux et al. (1992) studied this question.
